Zohran Mamdani's African Peers
Does the New York City mayoral candidate qualify as "Black or African American" as he claimed on his college applications?
Besides Elon Musk, here are some more racially black African Americans, using Zohran Mamdani’s logic for why he deserved affirmative action on his college applications for his race being “black or African American:”
I’ve often wondered how much Hamilton and Dawkins differed in their percent of Neanderthal ancestry.
My vague impression is that Brits born in Africa tend to be above average sportsmen.
The Ugandan Asians were the mercantile elite of Uganda, and were expelled by Idi Amin in 1972. Many of them had the right to settle in Britain, and did so. They have often been very successful. Although they suffered the hardship of deportation and loss of wealth, they were never the underperforming minority for which Affirmative Action was intended.
When 50,000 migrated to Britain in 1972, it was controversial and highly newsworthy, because the number was considered to be so large. Nowadays we get that many immigrants _every month_, and unfortunately they are seldom such high achievers as the Ugandan Asians.

Zohran deserves affirmative action as much as anybody does! Which is to say, not at all.
